Underworld

Chapter 4

When we entered Karven's chambers, we both knew that he was about to throw what the yanks like to call a 'Hissy Fit'. I was already about to rip his jewels off of him and shove them down his throat. I know Selene wasn't far behind but she respected Viktor too much to do so. Don't get me wrong I respect Viktor as well but I knew I wasn't favorite by a long shot but I still care for the man like I could a father. Even though I respect him deeply, I can never understand why he placed this perverted bureaucrat who I could hardly believe was a fellow vampire. As he was tearing into Selene; I decided to ignore him because he already said the same thing to me earlier. As I was trying not to listen to their conversation when Selene started to speak. "Look, I don't want to argue. You need to understand that Michael is somehow important to the Lycans." I guess Michael's name somehow offended Kraven for his attitude got dramatically worst. He wouldn't hear her out after she got out those two sentences.

"Kraven hear her out for god sake. She's onto something." I spoke out to him. When I did he backhanded me causing me to hold my cheek.

"I just don't understand why both of you are so obsessed with this ridiculous theory." His anger was getting the better of him as he began to spit as he spoke "Lucian wouldn't be interested in a human. Michael or otherwise." I don't know what happened to cause Kraven to look at her with anger and disgust. "Wait a minute.." he looked at me before he looked back at my sister. "You're infatuated with him, aren't you?"

Selene held his gaze before saying "Now that is a ridiculous theory." Of course, he didn't believe her. He brushed past Selene as he walked out of the room. After he left, she looked at me and incepted my cheek. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. It's no worse than being hit by a Lycan's breath." I told her with dry sarcasm laced into my voice. I knew she found it a little comical. "I'm ok Selene. We need to check on Michael after what just happened."

We both left the room, following Kraven when we heard Erica hiss and the sound of an opening window. When we heard these sounds, the three of us hasten our pace to the room where Michael and Erica were supposed to be. Kraven entered first with Selene and me in toll. When we entered the room, I noticed that Michael was missing and the window at the far end of the room was open; letting in the cool wet air as it was raining tonight. When I looked at Kraven I knew that he was at the end of his rope his eyes started to glow a bright blue and his fangs were bare.

"Leave us." He told Erica and the others who left in fear of being at the receiving end of his rage. He stalked towards us in angry and what seemed to be jealousy. He and Selene held a small staring contest before he gave her a hard backhanded slap across her cheek. When I saw Selene's head jerk to the side, I almost attacked him but Selene gave me a look that said don't. We both decided to blow off some steam. While Selene went to the gun range, I went to go spar with a fellow death dealer. God, I was so full of rage I broke the other guy's nose. I decided that I should probably leave them be before I hurt anymore of them. I walked over to my sister when Kahn showed up with a bag full of ammo.

"Sure hope you two never get pissed off with me." he joked as I walked up next to him. I just smiled softly at my dear friend and grabbed a gun before he stopped me. "Hold on. Check this out" He told both my sister and me before he handed us both a Modified H&K USP 9mm. We both looked at him strangely before he said to squeeze off a few bullets. So we did. When we did, I noticed that the marble bust seemed to be bleeding silver. I was both curious and impressed. Selene looked at him wordlessly when he told her to eject the mag. When she did, we were both happily surprised.

"You copied the Lycan's rounds," she said with her voice slightly amused. "Silver Nitrate"

"A lethal dose."

"They won't be able to dig these out like our other ones," I commented on next to Selene. Khan smiled and agreed.

Selene put a bullet aside for the moment before asking if he believed what people said about how Lucian died.

"Kraven telling stories again?" He questioned.

"I believe that is her point, Khan. It's nothing but an ancient story" I trailed off

"His story" She finished for me. "There's not a shred of proof that he killed Lucian, only his word."

Khan seemed a little shaken by our shared theory. So much so that he even protected Kraven by bringing up Viktor. Before he asked us what we were leading him?

"Nowhere," Selene told him sternly.
